So back in May our A/C was on the fritz and would freeze up and then it would get ella hot. So we tried to get it fixed but to no avail as it had a bad leak. So the landlord had it replaced with some kind of super duper heat pump 3000 thing-a-ma-jiggy. This was toward the middle of June, so when we got back from vacation it was nice and cool........... Then NAOMI cooked a pot of chili. Emphasis here is in jest in reality we don't know what caused it to freeze up like a giant block of ice. When I came home Tuesday it was nearly 80F so I asked Naomi what was wrong. We turned off the a/c after seeing the problem. The a/c guys that installed it came by and checked it out and said the would call the landlord and get back with us
......s.....t.....i.....l.....l.........w.....a.....i.....t.....i.....n.....g.............
So Wednesday the boys slept on the spare bed because it was to hot on thier bunk beds. Last night the boys slept on the floor next to the box fan and Naomi was on the couch. I slept on the bed drenching in sweat. Waking up in this kinda heat feels like waking up in the middle of a shower, your wet, except you don't smell better afterwards.
So I have decided.
Ifs dey's ain't gon'ter fixee de dim t'ing den we gon'ter git dur slep en'dur de staz in de tind.
Translation: We're going to sleep in a tent outside.
